Living Flora (Pure Essence)
Probiotics are helpful bacteria that live in the intestinal tract, the stomach and the mouth. Also known as "friendly flora," such bacteria support digestion and immunity, and produce several "B" complex vitamins. They also help keep candida albicans from growing out of control. While probiotics are essential for good health, they are destroyed by antibiotics, birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, chlorinated water, etc. Because of this, using probiotic supplements is wise.
Many strains of bacteria have been used as dietary supplements. Some companies advocate the widest variety possible, while others suggest one at a time. At Pure Essence, we combine six strains, so that a single supplement can support the entire digestive tract. These strains are all native to human beings, have been proven safe by research, and are specially prepared to survive the acids they encounter on their trip through the stomach.
What Do The Ingredients Do?
Lactobacillus acidophilus: Inhabits small and large intestines. Suppresses hostile invaders, including candida albicans.
Bifidobacterium bifidus us: Helps keep pH of intestines at levels that discourage parasites and candida.
Lactobacillus salivarius: Inhibits ulcer causing bacteria, like h. pylori
Lactobacillus lactis: Inhibits gram positive pathogens like listeria
Lactobacillus bulgaricus: Helps other species to grow, provides enzymes that help digest dairy products
Streptococcus thermophilus: Also helps digest dairy products
Probiotic potencies are expressed as cell forming units (CFU's). Each CFU is an organism that can live and reproduce in the human body. Research shows that one billion CFU's per day maintain healthy probiotic populations. While probiotic labels often claim that many billions of CFU's are present, these claims express the potency at the time the product was made. Because heat, air, moisture and light kill probiotics, most companies start with huge amounts,...
